All they can do is look pretty with your current set up of only speakers.

A more robust amplifier would be a better choice. All those woofers crave a lot of current.

Agreed. See below on the Marantz:
From Polk website, but the key here is a high current amp. Lot's of threads here on that subject. It's not just a matter of watts.

Agree with everyone above. You need a hefty dose of power for the A9's. Look for used Parasound HCA 1200 or 1500, B&k amps, McCormack, Belles, Rotel, just to name a few.HT SYSTEM-

Will they play, yes. Will they operate to their full potential, not even close.

I will add that pro amps, while they work, are NOT a good solution.

I've never heard of them ants. But that's really light for a 5 channel amp - 26 pounds. 85 wpc is on the low end for those beasts.Living Room 2.2: Usher BE-718 "tiny dancers"; Dual DIY Dayton audio RSS210HF-4 Subs with Dayton SPA-250 amps; Arcam SA30; Musical Fidelity A308; Sony UBP-x1000es

Dude, I know it's the internet and a casual forum conversation but PUNCTUATION is greatly appreciated. And it might get you better feedback. I cannot read your posts and I lost my decoder ring...

What we are trying to tell you is that you have one endless run on sentence that is impossible to read.

Greg5515, please see your rewritten post and note all the correct changes so that you can post in paragraphs, and correct sentences that will make it easier for us to give you advice.
Welcome to Club Polk.
Hello, new guy here.
I have had Polk speakers since the early eighties and I love them. I have some RTIA 9, and some older RTI sixteens from the early eighties.
I have just ordered an Atoll av500. I was told the ants have a break in period before they will sound good.
I was wondering if anyone else has used these amps to power their Polk speakers, and if you are happy with them.Marantz AV-7705 PrePro, Classé 5 channel 200wpc Amp, Oppo 103 BluRay, Rotel RCD-1072 CDP, Sony XBR-49X800E TV, Polk S60 Main Speakers, Polk ES30 Center Channel, Polk S15 Surround Speakers SVS SB12-NSD x2 -

But she still didn't correct "ants" to "amps".
